ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[Seathestars]

Carragher wanting the RS to get Barca, I think he wants them to go out so he can carry on with his criticism of them. I honestly believe he doesn’t want them to win anything, not because I think he’s a blue, but rather because it will kind of reduce his hero status there.

Saying that, you would think he would lie low for a while, gobby pr!ck.

 

[Penno]

Deffo a snide manc designer who has slipped it past a load of luvvies who have no idea what it is.

 

[Brisan123]

Apparently a reference to Bob Marleys song 'what goes around, comes around' from the 1996 album Karma. The fact that its red doesnt help!

I honestly dont think that its been done on purpose, but like the H&M advert which showed a little black boy with a 'coolest monkey in the jungle' jumper, you do wonder how these things are not picked up by anyone at any stage of the process - its poor really.

I honestly believe this was done in all innocence
I know to Liverpool residents and fans to both clubs around the world it immediately evokes bad memories.
But the number of non footballing people who would have no clue as to its significance far outweighs those that do.
More than likely designed outside of Britain and by somebody who was not even born when Hillsborough happened.
Agree though it should be removed from the shelves

 

[Penno]

Or it could be some no speak English RS fan who googled the word justice. Bit of a reach that one but possible

 

[Penno]

Whatever it is it needs pulling asap

Nah it’s the reverse mockers thing they all love doing so that when Sevilla second leg at Anfield comes out (which they are all smugly banking on), they can do that fake shocked expression they’ve all mastered ‘I was all ready for Barca there mate yano’

 

[degsy]

There are an infinite number of things I'll ridicule them for. That isn't one of them.

This

 

[EFC78]

Red and White
96
White Rose...(possible Yorkshire reference?)
Karma

Something definitely not right about it. Disgraceful in my opinion.

 

[mawders]

Got to laugh at the amount of RS who are saying they won’t renew their Sky subscription if they keep punishing Carragher. They really are a joke

 

[Prevenger17]

For me, someone has known exactly what they were doing, and it's disgraceful.

I really doubt it, Hillsborough is a huge deal in our minds because we are football fans, but I wouldn't take it for granted that everyone else is so familiar with it, or at least with the details. My girlfriend had never even heard of it until last year, which was incredibly surprising to me because she's 32 and her dad's a Liverpool fan. This looks like an unfortunate coincidence, and they will hopefully remove the item from sale

Dunno y’know mate, 96, red, slogan?

That’s a mighty big co-incidence.

 

[SantaClausisanEvertonian]

This is no coincidence for me my friends.
They have an infinite choice of numbers and colours yet they choose 96 in white letters on a red shirt.
Absolutely effing shameful.
It has now been taken off their website.
I wonder if they still think "there's no such thing as bad publicity" when they're replacing their huge plate glass windows?

 

[Prevenger17]

Dunno y’know mate, 96, red, slogan?

It's a big coincidence for sure, but they do happen

 

[Dan Tanner]

Ha ha ha ha, if they didn't exist I don't think you could make them up. I actually thought it was the first of April when I read this ...



A dad said he was considering changing his son’s name after the widespread disgust over the Jamie Carragher spitting incident.

Reds supporter Anthony Caplin, from Canterbury, gave his son Charlie the middle name ‘Carragher’ to give him a “strong and brave name” after the youngster underwent open heart surgery.

But now Mr Caplin is thinking about legally altering the four-year-old’s name as he doesn’t want him to be associated with the pundit following his shameful act.

Speaking to the Jermey Vine show on Radio 2, he said: “Four years ago I had a son, he needed open heart surgery when he was born, and being a massive Liverpool fan and being a really big admirer of Jamie Carragher who played with his heart on his sleeve with great bravery, I wanted my son Charlie to have a really strong name.

So he is called Charlie Carragher Caplin. I just wanted to give him a strong brave name to help him get through his life.

“I used to run a football team and if anybody spat at anybody in my team I would kick them out, I didn’t mind if they punched someone but I wouldn’t have them spitting.”

Asked if he thought the spitting incident would blow up before his son was old enough to understand it, he said: “I hope so. This is the worst news I’ve had in a long time and I’ve had a lot of bad news recently.

“I would absolutely [consider changing his name]. My older son is named Emlyn Crazy Horse after the great Emlyn Hughes. He wasn’t a spitter though.

“We might have to go for Gerrard now.”





Feel sorry for the kid, bad enough having surgery but a dad who's obviously a massive buffoon isn't gonna help. There's so much "bonkersness" going on here it's like Alan Partridge wrote it

 

[Saint Domingo]

Calling Liverpool to be second leg at home v Sevilla or Roma right now.
